#miss not-so-sidekick did this pretty well although she did a 'oh this is reality' speedrun

i love the bias + the fan pairings so much because on the surface its very "oh, well, the bias just has to fall for the fan and then its happily ever after" but no! its way more fun than that!

the fan isnt in love with the bias. in fact, the fan doesnt view this world as reality, nor do they even view their bias as a human. the fun part of this pairing is the fan having to recognize the world they live in as their new reality and the people around them as people! the bias falling for the fan is just part one, the fan falling for the bias as an Actual Human Being is just as important an element

#wwaffles bein' an idiot #wwaffles reads stuff #keeps it gender neutral even though i've only seen f!fan/m!bias #miss not-so-sidekick did this pretty well although she did a 'oh this is reality' speedrun #if this one goes well i'd put it up on the same shelf its pretty good so far #we're like 30+ chapters in and she's still referring to him as her favorite character. fantastic #there was another one i was reading that i can't recall the name of (long title i think) that i havent read the end of yet #but it had a similar premise just not done as well #or that is to say. it seemed to skip the 'this is reality now' realization #but the problem with that is HES searching for someone who loves him. and SHE loves him as a fictional character #so hopefully they do address that at some point because that could only go well #anyway back to the actual topic #its actually very similar because cael wants someone who loves him for him #and she just wants him to be happy and to shove all her affection on him because shes his fan #she doesnt even factor herself into the equation of his happiness because he's not real and she is #she's still lowkey thinking she's gonna go home eventually (maybe?? unclear) #anyway i just love this particular subgenre its so good #also what happened to her depression. i mean having a bias is just like that but she wasnt doing so hot either #i wonder if there'll be a antagonists pet reveal where she's actually miserable #and a big part of 'i'll devote my life to my bias!' is that she literally has nothing else to live for
